Dorking Raiders, a cycling club for juniors that offers coaching and events for juniors (up to 15 years) from Dorking and the surrounding areas. Coaching takes place in playgrounds of a local school, weekly throughout the year.

The Surrey County Council website Get Cycling in Surrey page lists a number of routes, and associated information. Part of the Surrey Cycleway lies in Mole Valley. The Rural Ways Cycle Route is mainly in Mole Valley, and downloadable maps and other information are available on the website.

The Bikehike website allows a course to be plotted on Google and Ordnance Survey maps simultaneously, with auto routing (on roads) on the Google map. Upload and download of routes to and from GPS units is supported.

The CycleStreets website has a country-wide (and more) cycle journey planner, providing a choice of three routes for any journey - fastest, quietest and 'balanced'.

The Sustrans interactive map also provides a country-wide cycle journey planner, highlighting local amenities and attractions.
